| Kissing Rocks.
The hike through Willow Gulch is a fairly easy hike - the only caution being
that there is a lot of poison ivy, which is generally a good idea to avoid. At
one point, the canyon walls close in and almost touch overhead - the ranger
informed me that this is known as the Kissing Rocks - obviously someone was
lonely.

| Broken Bow Arch.
This is one of the better known landmarks in Willow Gulch. I was there in April,
and all the vegetation was coming alive after a winter's rest.

| 40 Mile Falls.
For my return trip, I turned off into 40 Mile Gulch, which intercepts Willow
Gulch from the west. 40 Mile Gulch is much narrower and wetter than Willow
Gulch - in places I was more than waist deep in water - fortunately it wasn't
too cold. This is a fun canyon to hike, as long as one doesn't mind getting
wet - again watch out for poison ivy.
